In such an unparalleled speed, it wasn’t just challenging to lock onto its eyes; even trying to keep up with its pace felt like an unattainable luxury.
Facing this situation, they were almost completely powerless. They could only watch helplessly as Toby swatted them away one by one, sending them plunging into the vast void.
Despair consumed everyone. Their emotions had already been stretched to their limits, and now they had plummeted into the depths of hopelessness.
Their primary concern now was how to escape from Toby’s grasp, rather than confronting and battling him.
The only one who still hadn’t abandoned the will to challenge was Hayley. However, Hayley’s expression grew darker by the moment. Watching as her comrades were defeated——one after the other, she knew that if she couldn’t find a way to counter Toby soon, she too would eventually become prey to be slaughtered.
Her hand, hidden within her robe, clenched silently.
“My Lord High Priestess, perhaps we should consider retreating for now——” a trembling man in a black robe suggested to Hayley, mustering all the strength he had.
Hayley turned to face him, her gaze piercing. She spoke slowly, “As a devout follower of the Profound Lord, are you suggesting we defy the commands of the divine?”
“I don’t…” Before he could clarify whether he meant, “I am not a follower” or “I don’t want to defy,” Hayley swiftly moved behind him, grasping his collar.
Hayley’s hand, with veins bulging in anger, transformed suddenly. It seemed as if countless dark feathers sprouted, and even her nails took on a hooked appearance. With a forceful tug, she hurled the man, sending him on a parabolic trajectory directly towards Toby’s position.
Under ordinary circumstances, being a formal wizard, even if one’s power is feigned, one would not be easily thrown about. However, their hearts were already in turmoil at this point. In such a restless moment, they approached their enemies with caution, never anticipating being thrown by an ally.
Toby sensed the whooshing sound of the wind and saw a man being hurled toward him. With a swift flick of his tail, a series of bone-cracking sounds were heard. With the contortion of his body, the man was directly smashed away.
Toby didn’t bother to check if the man was dead or alive, and prepared to face the next opponent. However, as he turned his head, he felt an unusual movement behind him.
Looking back, before he could discern anything, a silhouette appeared right in front of him.
It was none other than Hayley!
Earlier, when she had thrown the man, on one hand, it was due to her disdain for his begging posture, and on the other hand, she intended to use him as a cover to hide her figure! As expected, Toby hadn’t noticed her. As the man was repelled, Hayley, hiding in his shadow, instantly emerged and aimed a blow at the back of Toby’s head.
The reason Hayley aimed at the back of the head was that she was aware that the opponent would surely sense her attack. If he turned his head, her target would then be his eyes!
Hayley’s strategy proved successful as Toby, unsuspecting of any treachery, turned around.
The instant he did, Hayley’s hand, which had undergone a transformation, covered with black velvety feathers and shaped like a hook, glinted with a ghostly cold light and was already in front of Toby’s eyes.
Hayley could already anticipate the image of her strike bursting her opponent’s eye. She firmly believed that even if the opponent had unparalleled speed, he couldn’t evade such a close and swiftly approaching sharp assault.
Hayley caught a glimpse of surprise in Toby’s eyes, apparently not expecting the attack to come so swiftly. Yet, what puzzled Hayley was that apart from surprise, Toby’s eyes didn’t seem to convey any fear.
Under such circumstances, could this hairless creature still escape? Hayley didn’t think so.
Indeed, even if Toby possessed extraordinary speed, it was challenging to react flawlessly in such a fleeting moment.
It didn’t run. However, Hayley’s attack didn’t land on it either.
Hayley’s terrifying morphed hands suddenly stopped mere centimeters away from Toby’s eyes.
It wasn’t Hayley who paused voluntarily, but rather she was obstructed by a familiar and profound force.
Initial confusion appeared in Hayley’s eyes. When she sensed the origin of this force, her expression changed to shock: “Is this… the Law Lines?!”
While Hayley was surprised, Angel in the distance was equally astonished.
In Angel’s estimation, even if Toby couldn’t dodge Hayley’s sudden attack in time, with the power of the Gravity Lines, he could swiftly shift his weight. At the very least, he could tilt his head slightly in another direction. This means that even if Hayley did strike Toby, she’d only hit the scales. Her plan to shatter Toby’s eyes would essentially fail.
Therefore, Angel didn’t assist Toby but quietly waited for the outcome he anticipated.
Regrettably, Angel’s anticipation wasn’t fulfilled. While Toby did use the Gravity Lines, the turn of events wasn’t what he expected.
Toby positioned the Gravity Lines around him. When Hayley’s attack approached him, the Gravity Lines acted like a force field, always repelling outwards, stopping Hayley’s offense.
Previously, Toby, like Angel, could only use the Gravity Lines internally. But now, while Angel remains at the same level, Toby can already project the Gravity Lines externally.
He can even transform them into a long-range offensive weapon.
In that fleeting moment, Angel was once again lost in deep reflection. Toby’s Gravity Lines were the genuine and complete version, whereas his own… perhaps could be likened to a two-for-one deal, where the secondary item is a flawed version.
At this point, Hayley was still reeling from shock. She hadn’t anticipated that Toby actually possessed Law Lines?!
Now, Hayley finally understood the reason behind its astonishing speed. These particular Law Lines were clearly related to gravity. If a force as majestic as this didn’t manifest with such speed, it would truly be puzzling.
However, what perplexed Hayley was that many wizards struggled to grasp the concept of Law Lines, yet here was a creature that not only understood it but was proficient in its use!
Hayley had always maintained her composure, but at this moment, a crack appeared in her facade.
A flash of resentment crossed her eyes, and a profound jealousy ignited instantly: She had ventured through numerous Magic Gardens and yet hadn’t comprehended any Law Lines. Why should a mere beast possess the Gravity Lines? On what grounds?!
Blinded by the green-eyed monster, Hayley didn’t even consider where Toby’s Gravity Lines originated from. Had she pondered more deeply, she would have realized that currently, in the Southern Region, besides Gravity Forest, only Sanders from Phantom Island boasted a Gravity Garden.
Of course, it’s not impossible that Toby sensed the Gravity Lines from another source. But the likelihood of understanding Law Lines without a Gravity Garden is statistically very slim.
If Hayley had reached this conclusion, she might have been more cautious. Alas, at this moment, her heart was consumed by resentment and envy.
Hayley’s jealousy, under normal circumstances, wouldn’t be so overpowering. Regrettably, she was confronting a master manipulator of the emotion of jealousy.
Even the tiniest spark, under Toby’s influence, could transform into a raging wildfire Engulfing the Vast Plains.
